Thanks for the heads up.



Oh dear. I foresee very little science and generous helpings of controversy.

There were 2 main theories.
1. A comet or asteroid.
2. A gas explosion.
UFOs were also mentioned.

The Alien sacrifice for the good of mankind was a bit out there. If anything enjoy the picturesque scenery of Tunguska well worth a look
